Sounds great so far. I'd also trim some of the other violence as well. Rorschach putting the cleaver into the dude's head was not only over the top, the effect was bad. Additionally, during the prison riot, there's the moment where they cut the dude's arms off. Not that these acts of violence shouldn't be suggested, they're just too gruesome.

I agree with you on the songs. I love most of them individually, but I didn't feel any of them worked in the movie. They all just seemed distracting and out of place despite some of the subtext being correct.

I'd also suggest dialing back on Richard Nixon. The makeup looked god awful.

Agreed on all counts. Honestly, It took me quite a while to realise that was supposed to be Nixon.

regarding the violence, it might be more effective to not actually see some of that stuff, kind of like when Rorschach follows Big Figure into the toilets, We don't see what happened in there but we can imagine it was fairly gruesome.

regarding the music - as long as you get the godawful cover of Desolation Row out of there I really don't mind what else you do. I really have no idea why they decided to put that in there. I'm totally cool with the song I just [really really] hate that cover of it.

More Phillip Glass and more Bob Dylan :)

Have you [ChainsawAsh] considered possibly doing this as a miniseries rather than a ridiculously long film?

Also it might help if you start posting images of the scenes you are having trouble with, once you have your hands on a copy of the film - at least in terms of brainstorming solutions.
